Month: December 2014

Attending your first wedding as a married couple is something truly special. And if that wedding is Pk and Ak’s … Well then it is off the charts special. Di’s best friend Anet married one of the radder dudes I know, Peter. Another LA wedding, and another epic party where the commune got back together in celebration of two wonderful souls.

It’s been the center of so many ppl’s lives over the years. Weddings, holidays, surprises, games … Pretty much all the cool stuff that we get to do, we get to do it there. Love it.

… Okay … So if you have been to my wedding or Jo’s wedding, then you know about the epic, bringing-down-the-house style toasts that these girls put on. Anet has been in the first two, and this one, the grand finale, was poised to be ridiiiiiiculous.

So Anet is really into making these giant masks. And in honor of her hobby, Di and Jo made 260+ masks (one for every member of the wedding) that we could all hold up when the big toast was going down.

It’s hard to describe how high the bar is for this maid of honor toast. You see … Di and Anet absolutely crushed it for Jo’s wedding last year. And then a few weeks back, Anet and Jo just blew the whole place up with their toast at our wedding. So … Seriously … This shit had to be amaaaaaaazing.

Early in the week, the dudes pitched in and cut some of the masks out (in between enjoying a cold beer here and there).

I can only imagine what it was like that night for the bride and groom.

Ugh. I remember so vividly that same night for me. Alone in my hotel room, popping up at like four, taking in the profundity of it. Going through all the wedding machinery, but balancing that with the universal size of the day to come. It was awesome for me in every sense of the word … The night before I got to marry Di Won.

But … That’s passed … And for this wedding I slept totally fine, just stoking on the party to come.

PK, you are a solid dude! I couldn’t be happier for you. Marrying Anet!!! You won the friggin lottery with that woman. Hells YA!!! And as the husband of my wife’s best friend, we will get to kick it even more and that makes me stoked.

I gotta admit, I love the little details of a wedding. Those personal touches that they put on all this stuff to craft a really unique experience for all of us. And Anet / PK are both hella crafty and artsy and what not.

Dancing and drinking and basking in a fitting finale to a trio of toasts that made each wedding an event like no other. You three – Di, Anet, Jo – you are just the greatest friends. What an excellent and kind and dope gesture these toasts. I’m gonna miss it, but more than that, I got to live it. And that’s awesome.

Thank you so much for having me. Your wedding was like no other. I will never forget being a part of your day, and am truly grateful that we have you in our lives. I’ve only been married seven weeks, so don’t really have much advice for you all. But, if I can say anything about being married it’s this: enjoy the fuck out of it. You are both A+ humans, and that in and of itself is just the best way to start a life together. Here’s to decades of love and fun and friendship.

The whole commune is posting up in this rad house in West Hills that legit looks like music videos were shot at. The view is ridic.

And as the last few hours of 2014 fade away, I can’t help but be filled with a sense of happiness and contentment. This has been the best year of my life, without a doubt. Much Love to every single one of you out there. Stay amazing.
